My Bodrum Escape

Hello, beloved!

There are places you pass through quickly, never giving them the chance to reveal themselves. For me, Bodrum used to be just that — short visits, fleeting impressions. But this summer everything shifted. I slowed down, stayed in different hotels, and little by little, the city unfolded. Somewhere between sunrise by the sea and long summer nights, I fell completely in love.

Out of all the places I stayed, four became truly special. Together, they shaped my Bodrum summer and showed me why this destination has become one of my most inspiring musts of the season.

Scorpios Bodrum

The villas at Scorpios felt made for me — minimalistic, rustic, perfectly in tune with my style. Mornings were a dream, waking up in light and stillness. By evening, everything transformed into Bodrum’s best party: music, energy, people. And then, in complete contrast, the ritual space drew me in — yoga, sound healing, practices that brought me back to center. Two worlds in one: pure energy and deep calm.

Macakizi

Macakizi felt like a chic Turkish country house overlooking the sea. The atmosphere was light, the crowd effortlessly stylish, and every time I looked at the horizon, it felt like a scene from a film. But what truly stayed with me was the food. Their lunch buffet became my daily ritual — everything homemade, especially the mezze, carrying the warmth and soul of the place.

The Bodrum Edition

Edition was all about modern energy. Sleek design, a young and lively crowd, a beach where I could have stayed forever. It was the kind of place that let you be anything — sometimes lost in music and people, sometimes just stretched out on a sunbed, watching the world go by. Effortless style everywhere, making it perfect for moments when I wanted to feel part of something fresh and new.

Mandarin Oriental Bodrum

Mandarin Oriental was pure luxury. Spacious rooms, beautifully detailed, a service that felt like art. And the mornings — the breakfast quickly became the best of my summer. The resort itself was a universe: restaurants, boutiques, hidden corners to wander. The kind of place where you could stay inside the property and still live a whole story.

Looking back, I realize each hotel gave me a different side of Bodrum.

Scorpios — soul and energy.

Macakizi — warmth and flavor.

Edition — style and scene.

Mandarin Oriental — luxury and perfection.

Together, they created my brightest summer yet and turned Bodrum into a place forever marked on my personal map of inspiration.

With love and a taste of sea salt on my lips,
